Objective
To introduce and document the recently established HESD (Hearing Examinations in Southern Denmark) database, including the necessary data preprocessing steps, and to describe the hearing loss (HL) characteristics of the study sample. Design Clinical auditory information has been collected for approximately 20 years in the state-funded clinics of the Region of Southern Denmark. We reviewed these data and conducted extensive preprocessing through data selection, integration, cleaning, transformation, and classification. HL profiling was then assessed in terms of severity, asymmetry, configuration, site of lesion, and audiogram shape. Study sample The final number of complete audiograms available in the HESD database was 271,556, corresponding to detailed hearing information for 143,793 adults. Results The distribution of HL characteristics differed significantly (p Conclusions This work highlights the potential of the HESD database as a source of audiology-related epidemiological data. It can be used to evaluate the distribution of HL characteristics and also to investigate risk factors for HL and the associations between HL and other health outcomes. |
